Benefits of technology
This patent is for a new and improved coffee table that includes a built-in display. The display can be viewed while a transparent cover is placed over the artwork, and the table can protect the art from damage caused by physical contact and other elements. The table is also economical and durable, making it an efficient and effective commercial use.
Problems solved by technology
These devices, however, do not disclose a coffee table having a ledge adapted to support a cover, wherein the cover may be secured without fasteners and that may be easily removed from the top of the table.
While the device of Kriegsman discloses a table with a transparent cover and a decorative insert, it does not disclose a recessed portion having a ledge for supporting the cover thereon.
While Giron discloses a table that is adapted to display photos, Giron fails to disclose means to interchange the photos display therein.
Thus, Wunsh does not provide a device that is suitable to support beverages, magazines, books, decorative objects, and other small items to be used while sitting.
While the devices disclosed in the prior art are designed to display various types of artwork, these devices have several known drawbacks.
